Now that Intel and AMD are pushing their next generation products onto the market, we see a performance gap between older generation CPU's and the new breed. We try to give the Athlon XP an eXtreme performance boost so it can keep up!

My athlon 64 overclocked with boxed cooler performs the same as the XP @ 2.85 GHz from tommy...

my price: 240 € for the CPU
his: prom +-400 €, cpu 60 €...

I'm waiting for that right now. As for the prom, well i wanted to have the phase change experience and i had a real nice second hand deal so i whas tempted to buy it:^D A64 is a real dream for gamers/overclocers like me. Preformance and cheap! I'm sticking to my xp for now. My new R9800 gives me a nice boost in games so i can wait a while. Benchmarking like 3dmark.. well i'm not interessted in it at the moment. We are all charing the a64 fever:super:
